Swansea rebuff Southampton enquiry for Amat

Swansea City rejected an approach from Southampton for defender Jordi Amat just before the close of the transfer window, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Southampton were hoping to bring in a new centre-back before the transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday night after selling Jose Fonte to West Ham and losing Virgil van Dijk for a spell with a knee injury.
